That's true with most things--especially automotive "maintenance" products...

...you can't possibly believe that auto manufacturers have dedicated plants making Motorcraft, AC/Delco, Mopar, Honda filters, fluids, shocks, batteries, etc. Hell, they don't even manufacture their own transmissions, suspension components, or braking systems. Sometimes they even advertise stuff like "Brembo brakes", "BBS wheels", "Recaro seats", "Koni/Fox/Bilstein shocks", or "Allison transmission" as premium components for sales/marketing purposes.

My Suburban has the optional (upgraded) Brembo brakes. My Ford GT has the BBS wheels. My truck has the Allison automatic transmission. All were considered to be "value-added" selling points. My Ford GT even has McIntosh stereo--one of only 4 factory options on those cars.

So the chances of that blue AC/Delco OEM oil filter being manufactured by GM are slim to none. The chances of it being made in the US at a UAW plant are even lower. Dex-cruel or Dex-rot fluids aren't made by GM, either.
